🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The industry is shifting toward sustainability and decarbonization. ONGC is positioning itself by improving its ESG rating from 58 in FY2024 to 61 in FY2025 and establishing dedicated green energy subsidiaries like ONGC Green Ltd to mitigate the risk of fossil fuel disruption.

Competitive Landscape

Key competitors include other major energy players in the Oil, Gas, and Consumable Fuels sector, though ONGC remains the domestic leader in E&P.

Competitive Moat

ONGC maintains a dominant moat as the leader in India's E&P sector with nearly four decades of leadership experience under its current Chairman. Its integrated structure, spanning from exploration to refining and renewables, provides a cost and supply advantage that is difficult for competitors to replicate.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

The company is highly sensitive to the Energy macro-economic sector trends, specifically global crude oil and natural gas demand cycles.

Geopolitical Risks

Significant international presence through OVL in regions including Africa and Australia exposes the company to geopolitical instability and cross-border regulatory changes.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Operations are governed by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. The company must comply with SEBI (LODR) Regulations regarding board composition and independent director representation, where it currently falls short of the required percentage.

Environmental Compliance

The company faces challenges as its GHG emissions exceed industry averages. It received an Environment Score of 51/100, with specific low grades (C) in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and environmental externality pricing.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Environmental risks are high, with a score of 51/100, driven by high GHG emissions. Governance risks include a board composition that does not meet the required percentage of independent directors (Governance Score 63).

Geographic Concentration Risk

While headquartered in New Delhi, India, the company has significant geographic concentration in Indian offshore and onshore basins, supplemented by international assets in Africa and Australia.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

The company faces transition risks as the global economy moves away from fossil fuels, addressed by its 'Transition Score' which rewards efforts to shift toward sustainable energy.
